Sprint has officially announced the forthcoming launch of the LG Rumor Touch and Lotus Elite featurephones.

The red LG Lotus Elite will be available January 10th while the black version will launch on February 14th at $149.99 after new 2 year agreement before an additional $50 mail-in rebate, bringing the total to $99.99.

Actually, the Touch Pro 2 partly did. SERO plan holders are denied upgrades and sometimes activations for the device. It is expected all future Windows Mobile devices will require an Everything Plan on the consumer side.

I do not have a SERO account, furthermore I failed to site that I was offered the BB Tour, one caveat though was that SPRINT could not gurantee a fallback on my current Data plans, in case I was unhappy with the BB Tour, hence I would run the risk of having to either stay with BB or drop my F&F 700 for an E.P., which I opted against.

I was offered the HTC Touch PRO 2, at $179 with no changes to my Fair & Flexible 700 Plan, under the condition that I would restart my contract, this took place last month.
